VOLCANO is more than a blockbuster film. A marshal spirit, the seething lava of patriotic feeling, the delightful eruption of operatic sound are only a few of the things the word has come to symbolise. Volcano, in short, is the title of the October victory celebrations -- a massive event produced jointly by the Ministry of Culture and the armed forces, to be held in the covered stadium in Nasr City and attended by President Hosni Mubarak and Mrs Suzanne Mubarak. The 1967 defeat, it is said, will be represented by an artificial eclipse, while the victory of 1973 will erupt in an awe-inspiring volcano. A beautiful ballerina, coming to life like a sleeping beauty along the rocky path to victory, will stand for Egypt itself
